York Woman Pleads Not Guilty to Perjury

Gavel(AP) — A 31-year-old Milford woman is scheduled for a November trial on two counts of felony perjury.

Betsy Smith has pleaded not guilty in York County District Court.

Prosecutors say Smith sought a protection order against a York man, saying he was going “to slit her throat.” She later acknowledged under oath that the man had never threatened to hurt her.

Prosecutors also say Smith lied in a deposition for a criminal case and provided police with false information so they’d start a criminal investigation.

Her trial is set to begin Nov. 13.
